This logic is flawed, almost embarassingly so.

The only "responsibility" a modder has to him or herself.
Any modder who agrees with this quote should keep his or her mod to themselves.

Are you actually saying a product that came as a result of critiques of the original product is then immune to further critique? Just because a modder is producing something for no financial gain does not make it immune to criticism.

If I modify the game on purpose so that a boxing glove attached to an accordion arm punches you in the face everytime the game loads (which is something I'd like to do now, btw), I believe you would complain. This is similar to any complaint about something being modified.

Because of the inherent altruistic nature of all modders we should all just shut up and march lock step with whatever is thrown out there? You set your product up for an even more grueling gambit of critique when your mod has such a lofty aspiration and sanctimonious name as 'Rome: Total Realism.'

If I made a mod called 'Rome: Total Car Smash-up Derby' and then included absolutely no car smashing, but maybe a few Barney the Purple Dinosaur units, would you complain or feel dissatisfied at all? No, I guess you would just shut up, maybe squeak out a thank you, because after all, I did this for free, so I must be impervious to any expectations or criticism, right?



This is just stupid, forgive my rudeness.
